I buy pretty much everything myself. I get a game from my parents for Christmas, and one for my birthday if I ask for one. My sisters usually get me GBA games for birthday/christmas. I had my 16th birthday a while ago, but instead of getting games, I went half and half with my parents on a $150 flat screen TV for my room.

I've always pay my own thing aside from the original Nintendo system. Afward I paid my Snes and all others games with my lunch money. I 've also received two game a years by my parents, birthday and holiday Those was the hardtime.

Today, I'm 27 years old and oddly enough I don't buy as much I used too. The only console I bought lately is the Gamecube.
